In case you are wondering the mystery program turned up as a daily flyer, so all is forgiven Geoff. Mind you, you?re still not getting of the hook, the program book was okay, nicely done, but would it have killed you to have a cross referencing index. Okay it?s not SxSWi, but with two days, four streams, it really does help to have the information listed in more than just major topic groups of Flash, Coldfusion, Web Techniques and RIA Development.

The Day

• All credit to the guys at Nectarine for the Flash based adverts, they where totally awesome.


• The day started with the usual keynote, with the two Mikes, Mike Downey and Mike Chambers dishing up some Apollo goodness. With the alpha of this product slated for release any day now this was a little of a sales pitch and a show and tell. That?s not to say it wasn?t interesting.


• Brandy Fortune led us into the world of usability. The one thing that I found refreshing about Brandy was her frank and honest approach as she discussed the methods, equipment and overview of a generalised ?How to? on usability testing from an Information Architects view point.


• FarCry 4 was next on the agenda, Jeff Coughlin demonstrated the extreme power of the FarCry Formtools. It was interesting, would love to get the chance to inplement a FryCry site or at least be involved with the roll out of one. The power and easy of use of FryCry 4 is a few leagues higher than the previous versions.
